BREAKING: Carlisle double-header cancelled

The behind-closed-doors pre-season friendly between Workington AFC and Carlisle United, due to be held at Borough Park tomorrow, has been cancelled.

The Reds and Blues under-18 fixture, which was to be played tonight at Creighton Rugby Club, has also been cancelled with safety once again the first and foremost consideration.

The first-team held a contact training session on Tuesday and since, one player has tested positive for Covid-19, even though he is currently asymptomatic.

Under regulations, social distancing measures must be applied. 

We have moved quickly to ensure that the safety of our staff, players and those of United, remains paramount.
